Pharmaceutical film coating, i.e. coating of particles, is a crucial process in pharmaceutical production. All tablet coating processes are based on three steps:
Spraying
Blending
Drying
Tablets are mainly coated to achieve a modification of substance release, protect the substance against light and moisture or to cover the bitter flavor of the tablet formula. Compatibility of the dosage form is relevant as well. Coated tablets are easier to swallow and can be better distinguished due to different colors. Processing active ingredients in tablet coating, the active ingredient coating, is becoming more and more relevant.
L.B. Bohle has been the technology leader in the development and production of film coating systems for the pharmaceutical industry. The Bohle BFC Film Coater is the high-end version of the L.B. Bohle coaters, standing out with high efficiency, optimized output, and lowest suspension loss.
L.B. Bohle film coating technology is based on three essential and unique properties:
The drum geometry
The patented twin spirals
The air system
Best process management
All L.B. Bohle coaters guarantee best-of-class product processing and excellent cost effectiveness. The flat tablet bed in a long drum geometry, as well as continuous adjustment of the inclination angle ensure optimal movement of the cores. The systematic compulsory guide in the drum enables continuous product movement. There is no tablet twinning, Both solid and paint losses are kept low.
